Whoaaaa baby. This post has been along time a-comin'. For as much as fitness/working out as been a part of my life, it's pretty rare to see fitness-related anything around these rosy parts (unless it's us relating on the whole pizza versus gym struggle, which we all know ends in #PIZZA ;) ). But I've actually gotten quite a few requests lately for ... Continue Reading »

Time for some #RealTalk. When was the last time you felt truly ~confident~ in a bikini?
Really.
Think of the time.
Was it last week? Last month? Last YEAR? ...can ya even remember???
When was the last time you felt truly *good* about you, ... Continue Reading »

CRAVING

Is anyone else sorta...over the dog days of summer? Don't get me wrong - I'm all about a swim sesh, a giant family BBQ, and some experimental cocktails. But the heat's a bit unbearable, and it tends to dampen more than my browline - it gets hard to handle. Even a mere 15 minute workout outside becomes a 30 seconds ... Continue Reading »

"I just like to smile, smiling's my favorite!" I think if I had to pick out my own favorite physical feature, it'd be my smile. Hollah to the parents for years of braces and cracking down on teeth brushing within 20 minutes of every single meal. I really value the power of a smile - the power it has to raise others up in a flash, to make people ... Continue Reading »

Alright, chicas. It's time for some TMI.
You know TMI, right? Too much information. And we're about to get all TMI on a topic I never in a million years (or at ... Continue Reading »

I definitely wouldn't be the first to tell you that it's important to live a healthy, active lifestyle. At this point, that's a "duh" statement, right? I also wouldn't be the first to say it's really, really hard sometimes to hit the gym. There are days when my three block walk to the on-campus gym feels like three miles. Sometimes my "9-to-5" day ... Continue Reading »

Alright guys, this post is getting real. I'm always real with you (maybe too real? #bringonthebloopers), but this one is a bit uncomfortable to share. I've always been incredibly self conscious about my ... Continue Reading »

We’re constantly bombarded with a gajillion tips on how to get fit n’ fierce in ____ weeks for ____ occasion. But when life is at us full force, it can be hard to prioritize a good sweat above a good chill session.
I tend to get super down on myself when I start to slip in my fitness regimen (and hit the junk food cabinet), but then I go all ... Continue Reading »
